203, meeting gift!
"Kill, kill, kill, kill!!"
"Kill, kill, kill, kill!!"
The deafening shouts of killing continued to resound in Ping'an City, the capital of the Northwest Lands:
This is the vanguard army of the Li clan in the northwest has arrived and is now attacking Ping'an City.
Li Nian rode a high-headed horse, quietly stopped at the back of the team, and looked at the Li family soldiers under his command who were fighting to the death, and couldn't help but smile, laughed a few times, and said to the left and right:
"We have these warriors in the Li clan.
"This Ping'an City should belong to my Li family."
Because of the secret dispatch of troops by the Li clan in the northwest this time, Li Nian led 5,000 troops to attack Ping'an City, and without much defense in Ping'an City, he almost attacked the city gate directly.
If that's the case, then the core of this Northwest Land will probably be easily occupied by the Northwest Li Clan.
If it can come true, the Li clan will occupy the most prosperous place in this northwest land without spending too much cost, and in fact, it was almost stolen by the Li clan to succeed.
It is no wonder that the defenders here are sluggish.
In fact, the Great Qi Empire has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and as the core of the Northwest Land, Ping'an City has not experienced any war for hundreds of years.
Therefore, even the officers and soldiers defending the city did not think that an important city like Ping'an City would be attacked by the army one day, and when it was really attacked by the strange soldiers sent by the Li clan in the northwest, these officers and soldiers who were even elite defenders on weekdays were almost defeated.
Fortunately, in the face of this kind of thing, the governor of the northwest had already made arrangements in advance, sent his own soldiers as a backup team, once he found a special situation, he quickly rushed over to support, and after a large number of casualties, he finally blocked the cavalry of the Li clan in the northwest outside the city gate, and completely closed the gate, which did not let the Li clan in the northwest succeed.
But.
Because the Northwest Frontier Army conquered the Xu family, there were not many elite officers and soldiers in Ping'an City at this time.
……
……
Li Nian was not reconciled when he failed to sneak into Ping'an City, and then after simply organizing the team, he immediately ordered the siege of the city.
Although the elite of the official army of Ping'an City took advantage of the city's advantages and performed decently in defending the city, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these people were just the end of the crossbow.
It's just that with a moment of bravery, they are still barely fighting with the Li family's soldiers in the northwest, but they shouldn't be able to last too long.
After all, tens of thousands of elite troops in the northwest have folded in the land of Beizhou, and these elite officers and soldiers guarding Ping'an City are rootless water, and one less one dies:
There is not much to add at all.
Although there are many people in Ping'an City, especially those who are wealthy families, there are many elite soldiers, but in the current situation, I am afraid that even if the governor of the northwest says that he is broken, those wealthy families will not lend him a single soldier.
Otherwise, when the Li clan in the northwest really occupies Ping'an City and starts liquidation, those wealthy families who have helped the governor of the northwest will be uncomfortable.
So.
At this moment, it is better to watch from the sidelines and be a wall grass, anyway, those Haodu families have a lot of local resources, as long as the Northwest Li family still wants to occupy the northwest land, when the time comes, they will definitely be used.
Yes.
Even if those wealthy families don't do anything, their status will not decline much, and they may be able to find new opportunities in this war, so that the family's power will flourish again.
On the edge of the city wall, the governor of the northwest looked at the Li family soldiers under the city, couldn't help patting the head of the city fiercely, gritted his teeth and scolded:
"Rebels and thieves!"
He also knows that the situation in the northwest is not optimistic, after all, the elite of the northwest border army has been outrageously lost in the land of Beizhou, and the consequences are very serious, which is equivalent to directly removing the backbone of the Great Qi Empire's rule in the northwest, and at the same time removing the confidence of him, the governor of the northwest, to rule the northwest.
Coupled with the civil unrest in the northwest that has not been completely pacified, the governor of the northwest can already foresee that the northwest will inevitably be surrounded by demons in the future, and some ambitious wealthy families may not be able to help but jump out and try to raid the northwest land.
In short, if the Great Qi Imperial Court does not send elite soldiers and strong generals into the northwest to quell the rebellion, I am afraid that this place will also enter the situation of competing for hegemony in advance, just like the southeast and southwest of the Great Qi Empire.
Maybe after a year or two, or more than ten years, the chaos will be completely over, and at that time, a heroic figure may be born here:
Completely occupy the Northwest Lands.
If the Great Qi Imperial Court is still there, it will be extremely difficult to clean up this northwest land.
……
……
It's just that.
The governor of the northwest did not expect that after the imperial court lost tens of thousands of elite border troops, the first to jump out was the Li family in the northwest.
This Northwest Li family is not an ordinary wealthy family, this family has existed before the establishment of the Great Qi Empire, and it also contributed to the Great Qi Empire's Emperor Taizu when he attacked the northwest land.
Faintly, it is the largest wealthy family in the northwest.
Before, the Northwest Li clan was very well hidden, and every year they would spend a lot of money to buy expensive gifts to dedicate to the Emperor of Great Qi to express their loyalty, and they also cooperated very well with his various decrees.
But.
As soon as something happened to the Northwest Frontier Army, the Li clan immediately showed its fangs.
King Qin?
Ahh
Rebels and thieves!
Originally, the governor of the northwest felt that since the Xu clan of Beizhou had annexed the elite of the northwest border army, the first to arrive in Ping'an City would be the first to arrive in Ping'an City, and the forces that wanted to capture Ping'an City should be the Xu clan of Beizhou.
But I didn't expect it to be the Li family.
"Rebel thief, rebel thief!
"Northwest Lee, damn it!!"
The Governor of the Northwest cursed wildly in his heart, compared to the Xu clan of Beizhou, he hated the Northwest Li clan more in his heart, after all, the Northwest Li clan usually received a lot of favors from the emperor of the Great Qi Empire and him, but when the pillar of the Great Qi Empire in the northwest fell, he immediately turned his face.
This made him particularly angry.
The Governor of the Northwest looked around, looked at the situation around him, and became more and more pessimistic in his heart.
He also knew that with the current strength of Ping'an City, he would not be able to hold this Ping'an City at all, and he would hold on for a few days at most.
Moreover, if there are some wealthy families in the city who have other thoughts and want to cooperate with the Li clan in the northwest and secretly surrender to the city, I am afraid that the time for the fall of Ping'an City will be shorter.
He, the governor of the Northwest, will be killed by others as a vote for his name if he doesn't get it right, and he will take it as a credit.
Even if he doesn't die, he is estimated to become a prisoner of the Li clan in the northwest, and no matter what he says, it won't end well.
The Governor of the Northwest has already made a decision in his heart, if things really come to the worst moment, he will definitely not suffer that kind of humiliation, and he will commit suicide in advance to be loyal to the Great Qi Empire.
Although the current Great Qi Empire is crumbling, a scene of the end of the dynasty, but the governor of the northwest knows that all this has nothing to do with the current Great Qi Emperor, it is really that God does not love the people too much, and there has been a catastrophe for more than ten consecutive years, this situation, even if the Great Qi Emperor is the reincarnation of a saint, there is no way to deal with it.
As a courtier favored and trusted by the Emperor of Great Qi, it is difficult for the Governor of the Northwest to betray the Emperor of Great Qi, since he can't defend the land for the emperor, but he can still be loyal!
……
……
Da-da-da-da!
Da-da-da-da!
Gu Wei Li Nian rode a big horse to the foot of Ping'an City, and shouted to the governor of the northwest:
"Uncle Xu, long time no see.
"Now my nephew has a sentence I don't know whether to say it or not, you also know the situation in this northwest land, Ping'an City must not be able to hold, so my nephew wants to persuade you, it is best to obey the current form, open the city gate, and dedicate Ping'an City to my Li family now, when the time comes, with your identity and status, there will still be a life of glory and wealth.
"If you have been stubborn, you will understand the consequences."
Li Nian specially came to recruit the governor of the northwest, although he also knew that the probability of success of his method was very low, but I have to say that there was still a certain possibility of success, since this was the case, he was naturally willing to spend some effort to recruit the governor of the northwest in the city.
If he can successfully recruit the governor of the northwest, the feudal official, it will naturally be of great benefit to him, although Li Nian is also confident that he can conquer Ping'an City with the soldiers and horses in his hands, but if he really does that, I am afraid that there will be nothing left of the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, now that the northwest land is turbulent, if he does not capture this peaceful city for a day, there will be more variables in it.
If the Governor of the Northwest is willing to submit, the benefits are too many, although the Governor of the Northwest does not have any military power in his hands now, after all, he has ruled the Northwest for more than ten years, and his influence is profound.
With him joining the Li clan, I believe that many cities in the northwest do not need to be captured by sending troops, and with a letter from the governor of the northwest, those cities can be smoothly included in the scope of the Li clan's management.
In addition, although Li Nian led the vanguard army of the Northwest Li Clan, the Northwest Li Clan was determined to win Ping'an City this time, and the main force of the Northwest Li Family's soldiers led by his father would also arrive in a few days, so Li Nian also thought that if he could take this Ping'an City in advance, he would also add a lot of points in front of the family's high-level at that time.
When the governor of the northwest heard this, he didn't even have the idea of responding to the other party's words, and immediately waved his hand and said:
"Archery!!"
Whew!
Whew!
Immediately, countless sword rains shot down from the city, aiming at Li Nian, which made Li Nian have to hurriedly ride a horse and quickly escape, looking at the figure of the other party gradually moving away, the Governor of the Northwest sneered, wanting him to surrender, this is simply impossible.
Who is he?
Governor of the Thirty-Two States of the Northwest Lands!
This kind of identity, in the Great Qi Empire, even if the actual power of a prince is not as big as him, but the Li family in the northwest is nothing, although it is the top wealthy family in the northwest, but compared with him, it is also far behind, if it is not for the support of the Northwest Frontier Army, there is no tiger in the mountains, so that the monkey becomes the king, and the head of the Li family in the northwest is in front of him, low and small.
The dignity of the high-ranking officials of the Great Qi Imperial Court did not allow the governor of the northwest to surrender like this, especially to surrender to Li Nian, a junior of the Li clan in the northwest, this was not recruiting him, but slapping him in the face.
If the Northwest Li Clan really wanted to negotiate with him and let him submit to the Northwest Li Clan, then at least it would be a figure at the level of the Northwest Li Clan Elder or even the Northwest Li Family Head.
If you talk about it with juniors, it is humiliation.
Don't take him seriously at all.
……
……
Li Nian fled back, looked at Xi'an City in annoyance, and roared angrily:
"Siege!
"I'm going to kill that old guy!"
At this moment, his mood was angry, he didn't expect that he would be kind enough to persuade him to surrender, but the other party not only ignored him, but also shot an arrow to kill him.
Li Nian now has no idea of surrendering the other party at all, and only thinks about occupying Ping'an City as soon as possible, and then killing that sinister old Yinbi.
It's just that.
Before the Li family soldiers could make any more moves, a soldier rushed over from a distance and shouted loudly:
"Childe, Childe, don't fight, don't fight, there is a large army coming from the south, please be on guard!"
When Li Nian heard the news, he was shocked, and immediately gathered his army and waited silently.
It didn't take long for him to see a black cloud suddenly appear in the south, and it was a huge army, which was rushing along the horizon at this moment.
Woo woo woo woo ~ Woo woo woo woo ~ When he got closer, the army finally stopped, Li Nian raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw that in the army, a big flag was fluttering, and a big word was written on it:
Composed!
Beizhou Xu's!
Li Nian immediately guessed the identity of the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party actually had the same purpose as his northwest Li clan, and also wanted to occupy Ping'an City as soon as possible, but now, the two sides are facing each other here.
Li Nian's eyes slowly narrowed, he exhaled fiercely, and said:
"Tens of thousands of troops, the Beizhou Xu clan is such a big hand, and it is also so determined, I am afraid that almost all the troops in the territory have been sent."
He looked around and said to the left and right:
"Which of you would like to lead a team to fight with the Beizhou Xu Clan, extinguish their prestige, and test the strength of the Beizhou Xu Clan."
To be honest, Li Nian doesn't think that the Beizhou Xu family is a friend of the Li family, the two are essentially the same, they are both rebel leaders, and their purpose is to occupy the northwest, so the two families are real competitors.
And from the information they got before, those spies simply blew the Beizhou Xu clan into the sky, and felt that the strength of the Beizhou Xu clan could be described as invincible in the world, and sooner or later they would become the masters of this northwest land.
However, Li Nian doesn't believe in these.
Now, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and it is also the time when he is a young man, and the city government that is not so deep, when he sees the army of the Xu clan in Beizhou, he immediately shows hostility, wanting to test the strength of the other party.
One of the generals beside him immediately said:
"Childe, I think, let's withdraw the army and join the master, the other party has about tens of thousands of troops, if you really want to eat us, we can't escape if we want to......"
Syllable!
Li Nian flicked the whip, knocked the other party down, and scolded:
"You waste, you really grow the morale of others.
"We are all cavalry, even if the other party really has malicious intentions towards us, we can't beat it, can't we escape?"
After saying this, he turned his head to look at the army of the Xu clan in Beizhou, and said slowly:
"I really want to know, is this Beizhou Xu family so powerful?"
Buzz buzz buzz ~
As soon as Li Nian's voice fell, he didn't have time to urge his generals to send troops to test the Xu clan in Beizhou, when a violent wind blew from the direction of the Xu clan in Beizhou, and the wind became stronger and stronger, more and more ruthless, and only the smoke and dust rolled.
And in the midst of this chaos, Li Nian suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a mountain, and the bones in his whole body immediately crackled with a crisp sound, and then the infinite force squeezed him again, directly knocking him into powder.
If you look down from the sky, you can see a straight force rushing through the Xu camp in Beizhou, directly beating the Li army, and the rest of the people are also cut off by a deep ravine in the middle.
In the Xu army of Beizhou, Wei Fang slowly withdrew his palm and said to the old general Wang Shijing beside him:
"General, I have crippled this Li army's army according to what you said, and it can be regarded as a greeting gift to the governor of the northwest, hoping that the other party can get acquainted with me and submit to me.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to embarrass you and kill him myself."
